Nightlife Spot: Snow Goose / Sleeping Lady Brewing

There is nothing like a good cigar! Here is a bar that caters to smokers. Their selection of smokes is limited, so bring your own favorite to puff on. They also have a good selection of beers. I had the "Fish On!" India Pale Ale and Gretchen had the "Old Gander" Barley-Wine Style Ale.

Nightlife Spot: Chilcoot Charlie's

I had avoided Koots because I was afraid it was a tourist trap, but upon entering, I learned otherwise. This is a multi stage bar where you can choose what kind of fun you want to have. You can: drink for effect, hear live bands, play bar games, get decent food, dance, or just party. In fact there are, I think, six different bars located around koots, and there are lots of people about, more than just tourists.

I didn't want to get too sloshed, so I had a slushy drink, but if drink too much, tell the staff and they will call you a cab, and if you've left all your money at the bar, they will even pay for it!

Nightlife Spot: Darwin's Theory

A smart monkey doesn't monkey around with another monkey's monkey!! Darwin's chickens (ladies only) liven up many Alaskan events. But don't try to crash the koop, there are chicken handlers to protect the hens.
